Listen "Mahler's 9th Symphony"
Episode Synopsis
Gillian Moore compares recordings of Mahler's Ninth Symphony and chooses her favourite.Mahler's final completed symphony is a monumental achievement ranging in emotion from wild passion to deep despair and finally resignation. He wrote it in 1908 and 1909 but did not live to see it performed. Leonard Bernstein said of the last movement: "It is terrifying, and paralyzing, as the strands of sound disintegrate. In ceasing, we lose it all. But in letting go, we have gained everything."
